Grade Moligand™
Note Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour. Need more advice on solubility, usage and handling? Please visit our frequently asked questions (FAQ) page for more details.
Product Description

Forskolin is a ubiquitous activator of eukaryotic adenylyl cyclase (AC), commonly used to raise levels of cAMP in the study and research of cell physiology.
